EICAD™ Expanded Controls
E-MAG Interactive Control And Display is an optional set of ignition control capabilities built into our newest series ignitions.

• Customize Tach Output Signal
• Monitor/Change/Store your preferred timing shift
• Ignition Status Reports

Physical Form - E-MAG's most conspicuous features.

Unified Form
All components (position sensor, electronics, and coil) have been consolidated in a single module that mounts cleanly in the existing magneto port. Resembling a traditional magneto, it looks "at home" on the engine. (Roughly 3 pounds and 6.25" long w plug wires attached).

Sealed Electronics
Sealed electronics are impervious to water, dirt, and oil. As an all-digital system, it can hold tighter tolerances through periods of significant thermal cycling.

Harness Options
Harness are available for both auto and aircraft style plugs.

Safeguards - E-MAG's most important features.
Aircraft engines are different than their automotive counterparts, and require a highly specialized ignition. One that not only takes advantage of current ignition technology, but also includes the requisite engine-specific safeguards.

• Self-Powered Model - All electronic ignitions share one fundamental challenge. How to defend against the loss of electrical power in-flight. E-MAG addresses this issue with a self-powered model, the "P" model. The P model draws power from the aircraft buss, but is backed up by a built-in three phase brushless alternator. Forget about batteries or keeping a magneto for back-up. Now you can run dual electronic ignitions - clean.

• Starter Motor Friendly - Like the first rule in medicine - "Do No Harm". E-MAG includes a lockout feature that guarantees the ignition will not fire before TDC during start-up. Were this to occur, an expensive starter motor can be damaged or destroyed. - See Sky-Tec's kick-back warranty extension (exclusive to E-MAG), or their "tech-talk" article for more detail.

• Voltage Reserve - Bus voltage dips sharply when aircraft starter motors are first engaged. Cold temperatures, low battery charge, and long battery cable runs all compound the problem. E-MAG is designed to endure significant voltage dips.

Enhancements - Making life easier
E-MAG's processor supports a number of additional tasks, most of which are aimed at simplifying installation. An E-MAG should take about two to three hours to install.

• Quick-Set TM *NEW* will let you set timing for one or both ignitions in about 60 seconds - without the need for any special tools.

• No need to install satellite electronics cases, coils, or pick-up sensors to the engine - just the E-MAG and harness.

• Digital tach output.

• E-MAG detects whether it's installed on a right or left rotating engine, and adjusts automatically.

• You can reuse your existing keyed (or other) kill switch to control E-MAG operation.

There are a lot of O-200 engines in service, and many more will arrive via the new LSA standards. These engines have a well earned history as an aviation power plant. Modernizing them with electronic ignition will only enhance their value.

The O-200 E-MAG will benefit from over five years of design evolution that have gone into our current (Lycoming et.al.) line. So it will begin service with a significant head-start. Like the current products, O-200 ignitions will be available in either E model (without the built-in power backup) or P model (with the built-in power back) and are priced equal to their Lycoming counterparts. Each ignition will need a gear adapter (sold separately) that will allow you to use your existing drive gear.

• Weight - roughly 3 pounds (naked - without drive gear and harness)
• Length - 5.50 inches measuring from the flange mounting face to the back of the plug harness. This is a full 3/4" shorter than our Lycoming counterpart.
